CHICAGO, ILL, May lf-The whea mar
kct opened at S613c for June, aud for some
minutes fluttuHted between S6kc and 86Lc,
and then took an upward shoot TO S6j4c, on
\ little show OF buying by the clique brokers'
In the meantime the long futures were very
weak. august opened at S3I4c and sold
down to S3l4c AS the session advanced
business became duller ara duller There
were To oiders from outsice, and the " hole
days trSL facti ms were practically bCtWt en-
brokers. The cl gus d d very little after the
frstlour, va,ues consequer thy moved
up and down with greater freedom. June
wheat sold early rs W as S614c. and as high
rsSr7sc, bur later transactions we're between
$3.50 and $500. The clique did not
get much wheat when the J ule
option got up to S67sc, aud prices
were accordingly allowed to ease off.
The crowd here vas indisposed to do bust
ness to any great extent, and the tact cs Of
yesterday failed to work. 1t was an easy
matter for the clique TO get VIII at yesterday,
and the weaker the mtrkct the more the
crowd were disposed to Sc |, but the worb of
the last five minute, OF the afternoon sea-
sioC,, when prices were run up 1ac, had
frightened the beafshly inclined, and they
were afraid to 80 short of the market just
before the close, at l o'clock, Irwin Green
crowd got very nerv us, and all, or nearly |
all, OF the shorts commenced covering.
June wheat was run up TO SIC, where 1t
closed; Corn opened rather easier than |
at Ale, and held steady around 4O5s@llc. |
Several times it broke to 40Ac during III, |
morning, but good buying invar,ably brought |
Il back again to 4O1sc,at which figure it CT sed.
